'And about a week or two after it aired, I get this beautiful bouquet of flowers and a package, and inside was this gorgeous vintage salt shaker that looked almost exactly like the one that we used in the show.
'It was from H, and I found out it was from Harry because I knew his then-girlfriend, Olivia Wilde, and she told me that it was from him.
'Then he gave me and my youngest tickets to his show.'
